Deshawn Capers-Smith sparks Warren Easton over Belle Chasse

Although Belle Chasse jumped out to an early lead, it was the arm of Warren Easton quarterback Deshawn Capers-Smith that carried Warren Easton to a 38-17 win Friday in both teams’ District 9-4A opener at Belle Chasse Stadium.

Capers-Smith had a part in all six Warren Easton touchdowns and passed for a game-high 386 yards.

“My receivers were getting open and making plays to get open for me to get them the ball,” the senior said. “I made sure to keep myself focused on the game and making sure that I was getting the ball off as fast as I can.”

Defense was key for the Eagles (5-1, 1-0) as they held Belle Chasse to 230 yards of total offense.
